About Me

We like to invite couch surfers especially French or English or German speaking people who enjoy talking with my children. We also really like to invite families to our home!

CURRENT MISSION

Try being a good father

IMPORTANT:
Friday is a bad day to arrive. We are never home.

ABOUT THE TWINS
Indy and Wesley are twins, born in March 2011.
They are happy children and enoyed every couchsurfing
experience we had. They like to make new friends, especially
if they are children of their age!
The twins speak English very well and they understand some French.
The children sing in a little choir and are also member of a scouts group.
They also going to swimming lessons!

ABOUT ME

I am fully dedicated single father.
I am a software engineer, now at ASML
I love traveling but have to reinvent traveling now I am a father.
I love to meet people all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open for any type or way of live.
Live simple, I don't need many 'things', I need 'people' to enjoy live.
Nature is exciting for me, and a place for rest and reflection.

MY HOME
I live a simple live in a modest home.
I have no TV (but have internet)
We live in the North of Eindhoven, not to far from the local Airport.

ABOUT YOU
My top floor is ready for you! We can easily have three guests here, but we also had six guests in our house...
I like it if you interact with my children. Maybe your French or English will help improve their language skills!
